  • 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster

    Here’s yet another video of the new 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster, this time with the car hitting a race track though never at full tilt. As mentioned in our previous report, the 563 horsepower SLS AMG Roadster is set to go on sale this fall. That gorgeous brown metallic paint finish Mercedes-Benz keeps showing the car in, by the way, is called ‘Sepang Brown’, named after the famous race track in Malaysia, which plays host to that country’s Formula 1 race each year. To watch the previous video of the new 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster, click here, and for...

  • BMW's 'Don't Text and Drive' ad
    Ray LaHood Wants Less Tech In Cars, More Ads About Distracted Driving: Video

    You can call U.S. Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood many things, but "slouch" isn't on the list. At a time when computing and social media are expanding to fill every corner of our daily lives, LaHood is pushing back, urging automakers to limit the technology included in new cars. Not only...

  • 2012 Audi A6 Avant promo
    Did Audi Rip-Off Chrysler’s Imported From Detroit Ad Starring Eminem?

    The recently revealed 2012 Audi A6 Avant luxury station wagon may not be coming to the U.S. but does that mean Audi can release a promo video for the car that’s almost identical to one of this year’s most popular local car commercials? We’ll leave you to be the judge as to whether...

  • Aston Martin Reverie commercial
    Aston Martin Reverie: Video

    Owning a car like the Aston Martin V12 Vantage is a dream for most auto enthusiasts, but for a lucky few, it is a reality. While we certainly wish we were among those lucky few who can actually afford the $179,995 asking price for the sultry two-door, we’ll have to suffice with this latest...

  • Rogue driver drifting around a police Dodge Charger
    Driver ‘Arrested’ For Drifting Around Police Car: Video

    Before the angry comments start coming in, let us be the first to state that this is not real and is in fact just a mock scenario involving a rogue driver in a parking lot drifting around a police car.

  • Tanner Foust sets world record distance jump in Hot Wheels stunt
    Tanner Foust Takes Hot Wheels Jump To Record 332-Foot Distance

    Maybe I was irreparably scarred by my youth watching Dukes of Hazzard, but jumping cars is just about the coolest thing a person can do. Unfortunately, cars don't magically repair themselves like the Dodge Chargers did on the show. But not all cars are used like handi-wipes when filming stunt...

  • Late Model Racing twin-turbo Corvette

    High-speed runs might seem simple enough: lots of runway, a straight line, and your foot to the floor. But they can go horrendously wrong at a moment's notice. That's what makes this 231-mph standing mile run by the Late Model Racecraft 1,500-horsepower twin-turbo Corvette in the video below all the more impressive. It also gives a good feel for just how bumpy World War II-era concrete is, and how unsettling it might be at one-third the speed of sound. As for the car, it's built on a 440-cubic-inch engine with twin turbochargers pumping 1,500 horsepower to the rear wheels--possibly more. The...

  • Ferrari 599 GTO in Cologne, Germany
    Ferrari 599 GTO Hits Pole While Reversing: Video

    Driving an exotic supercar like the Ferrari 599 GTO on public streets can often be difficult, thanks mostly to low ride heights, poor visibility and a throttle pedal that feels like you’re about to launch a scud missile with just inches of movement of your right foot. It also doesn’t...

  • John Cleese in TomTom's 'Break Free' campaign
    Break Free Of Traffic Jams With John Cleese & TomTom: Video

    Everybody loves John Cleese, right? Beyond his work on the popular Monty Python and Fawlty Towers TV shows -- not to mention many memorable film appearances -- he's written for stage and screen, and he's managed to inject some much-needed humor into the political climate of both the U.S. and...

  • Pagani Huayra screams on track
    Pagani Huayra Haunts Our Ears, The Track, Again: Video

    The Pagani Huayra is an unusual-looking supercar, with all its active aerodynamics and arthropod proportions, but it sounds absolutely brilliant thanks to the 7.3-liter Mercedes-Benz V-12 under the engine cover. This video is just more evidence. Or, if you wish, ear porn. Crank the speakers and...

    Video: Look Ma, No Driver! ZMP RoboCar Memorizes Route Map

    Feeling lazy? Don't feel like driving home from work tonight? Sounds like an autonomous car would be right up your street...

  • Fernando Alonso drives the Ferrari 458 Italia at Fiorano
    Fernando Alonso Slides Ferrari 458 Around Track: Video

    Perhaps in celebration of the extension of his Formula 1 contract with Ferrari to 2016, Fernando Alonso took a Ferrari 458 around the test track in Fiorano. He brought a passenger along for the ride, and the unidentified man seemed to enjoy it, based on his unabashed giggling. We'd probably giggle...

    2011 BMW 1-Series M Coupe First Drive

    You may have already read reviews of the 2011 BMW 1-Series M Coupe (aka 1M), but if you have, you've likely suffered through strained historical analogies, detailed comparisons to previous M cars, and sheets of performance data.

  • Ferrari Superamerica 45

    Remember the Ferrari 575M Superamerica? The one based on the 575M Maranello but with a cool folding hard-top that simply flipped over? Well, Ferrari has built another exotic with the innovative roof system, this time based on the 575M’s successor, the 599 GTB Fiorano. Like the previous car, the new one also picks up the Superamerica tag but unfortunately it is only a custom one-off model. The car is the Ferrari Superamerica 45, which made its world debut this past weekend at the 2011 Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este. Below is a quick video demonstrating the mechanism of the...

  • Twin-turbocharged Ford GT burns to the ground
    1,000 Horsepower Ford GT Burns To The Ground: Video

    We’re proud to admit the Ford GT is one of our favorite supercars here at MotorAuthority.
